Books of the Month

Last month I was spoiled! beyond belief. Look at all these wonderful books:Top Row Left to Right:The first one is a small book called Pot Pies:Forty Savory Suppers. I bought it at a garage sale for a quarter. Now that the weather is crap and it's snowing here I'll have to start reading it. Next is The Nasty Bits, Scott bought it for me for my birthday. I just started reading it and so far it's pretty good. Next to that is a book I bought used Laurel's Kitchen Recipes and next to that is Rachel Ray's 30 Minute Get Real Meals. I also got that one for my birthday after I went on a (drunken) rant one night about how I like the idea of Rachel Ray, but she is just a bit...much for me to watch on TV. I have a mini-review of this book planned; we had company a couple of weekends ago and I cooked a bunch of food out of it.Next Row: 2 more presents: Vegan Freak and Vegan with a Vengeance. I haven't started to read Vegan Freak yet, but I am drooling over quite a few recipes from Vegan with a Vengeance. Especially the cupcakes. Next is another gift (i told you i got spoiled) Feast, which I haven't looked at yet. And lastly, another used book Quick Vegetarian PleasuresI have a lot of reading to do.

Ooooo, "Feast" is an utterly fantastic cookbook! I am very jealous. Try the chocolate cheesecake in the chocolate cakes section; it's amazing, but a bit rich. I recommend a light fruit topping with it.

I just returned Feast to the library and I plan on getting my own copy of that book. Each recipe has a substantial, personal lead-in. She really wrote a book, as opposed to just slapping some recipes together.

Oh my Sara, the pile cookbook/food books next your side of the bed is going to look a lot like the three piles of cookbooks/food books next my side of the bed;-) Now if we just could find time to not only READ them all but COOK from them all....
